3.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Andreas Werner <kernel@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 555828ef45f825d6ee06559f0304163550eed380 upstream. Return EPROBE_DEFER if Regulator returns EPROBE_DEFER If the Flexcan driver is built into kernel and a regulator is used to enable the CAN transceiver, the Flexcan driver may not use the regulator. When initializing the Flexcan device with a regulator defined in the device tree, but not initialized, the regulator subsystem returns EPROBE_DEFER, hence the Flexcan init fails. The solution for this is to return EPROBE_DEFER if regulator is not initialized and wait until the regulator is initialized.
